Tip Tuesday: Accessing the camera app from the Lock Screen

6:32 AM Posted In , Edit This 2 Comments »

Sometimes, especially with kids, photo opps just come quickly and unexpectedly. This is the perfect time to use this feature.




For Weeks I have been trying to just press the camera to open the app, with no luck. Finally, I resorted to (gasp) reading the instructions. 
Turns out, you need to swipe the little camera icon UPWARDS to open the app!
Give it a try!

I totes agree with Erik, I thought it was random. So glad to learn this! Only downside I can see is you lose the ability to text, tweet, or email that photo instantaneously like you can do when going through the camera app. Thanks hooch!
